The day the Butler kids were the sole inhabi- tants of the school because of the storm. Emker almost blowing up the chem lab. Our first B.H.S. dance. When Nellie thought she was growing taller. How we distinguished Freshmen from Sen- iors: Freshmen ran to class; Seniors walked (but slowly). Winnie in her Majorette uniform. Trying to get the upper classmen to cheer in assembly.
